The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
7 games to go in the 1984 Dwight Gooden season replay.
Doesn’t look like it’ll be done by the end of August.
New goal is to finish by mid-September.
A couple of other non-sport games are arriving in the next week or so, which means I’ll be busy checking those out as well.
Federation & Empire drew a lot of attention away from the Gooden replay.
Stay tuned!
August 17, 1984: Mets vs. Giants @ Candlestick Park
Final from Candlestick Park:
I was looking forward to rolling this game. It didn’t quite turn out to be the pitcher’s duel that the real game turned out to be. On the contrary, it was a slugfest.
The Giants took an early lead and knocked Gooden out of the game. The Mets countered with a George Foster grand slam, knocking Krukow out and taking the lead, but the Giants rallied for 2 in the bottom of the 7th and got the win.
Next opponent: Gooden vs. Hawkins @ Jack Murphy Stadium
Stay tuned!
August 11, 1984: Pirates vs. Mets @ Shea Stadium
Final from Shea Stadium:
Combined shutout as Gooden wins his 15th game of his rookie season.
Gooden’s record: 15-2 (actual record: 10-8)
Next opponent: Gooden vs. Krukow @ Candlestick Park
For the record, I do not recall going to this game.
Stay tuned!
August 6, 1984: Mets vs. Cubs @ Wrigley Field
Final from Wrigley Field:
Hubie Brooks ties the game with a 2-run homer in the 7th, but Ryne Sandberg wins it with a 3-run homer in the 10th. No decision for Dwight Gooden.
Gooden’s record: 14-2 (actual record: 9-8)
Next opponent: McWilliams vs Gooden @ Shea Stadium
Stay tuned!
